Blowing in another bitter winter storm
All at once I felt its icy fingers
And I had to get someplace
Hit a sound to tell the ocean
It felt just like a block of ice
When I finally crossed that
That was right down on the beach,
Of that frozen northern world
That night I watched the moonlight
make a path across the sea
And I met a gorgeous south
I'd never heard an accent
And I thought of red and scarlet
as we strode along the shore
And when I took her in my arms
and found her lips on mine
I was lost below that Mason -Dixon line
I told her how that cold lake wind
could chill you to the bone
And she talked of growing
When she spoke of God and Dixie,
there was fire in her eyes
But the words were sweet as
of this cold Chicago street
another winter settles in
Tonight I'll bet she's strollin'
with some lonely northern guy
She'll swear she loves him
and she'll call him every day
But just like his southern tan,
he'll watch her slowly fade away
And all those precious words
that were like candy to his mind
He'll remember as that Mason -Dixon line
I still dream about her Ma son -Dixon line
